I have a Remington Ultimate Muzzleloader that I just screwed a Hankins Remmage barrel on. What I don't love is the fiberglass Ultimate stock so looking at some other options. Can anyone tell me what I would use for a barrel profile on the Brux Remmage barrel if I were to order a stock from AG Composite or something similar? I understand I'm going to have to do some fitting regardless.
Thanks

That should be enough information for AG to make a near perfect channel to fit. You might want to take a few measurements and verify. |

Thanks I could be wrong - but I believe you have a bell and Carlson stock w aluminum bedding block (almost a duplicate of a HS precision they are that close in design). That should be a really good stock. It’s built heavy enough to torque action screws up to 60 inch lbs - so it can help tune a barrels accuracy. Can you modify the stock to work for you ? The ultimates that I’ve converted have all kept that stock and are great shooters. If you don’t like it I’m sure you won’t have any troubles selling it for what you like. |

It will be a day or two before I can get back down to measure the barrel. That was my original plan but figured I'd ask while I was perusing the internet. I'm not super familiar with all the different contours as most of the stock manufacturers ask for.
The B&C stock is certainly a quality stock. I like the back half of the stock but the forend feels to me like I'm holding a brick. To my hand it feels much more bulky than it needs to be. I plan to shoot it a little more before I scrap it altogether and move on. I did wonder about reshaping it but didn't know how well one could reshape a stock like that, and how would one refinish it?
Has anyone here ever reshaped or reworked a composite stock?

Hello,
So I just did this exact project. I would tend to agree with Ballistic that the ultimate stock is a pretty nice quality stock with alum bedding block. I did have to remove quite a bit of material to give proper clearances for the new barrel but then I just did a glass bed job after everything was set up and clearanced properly. The barrel I just got from Hankins is now a "Preferred" brand as opposed to Brux, guess it was a supply issue. But the profile was as previous poster listed. Be aware, I think that the .75 at 26" is the threaded portion of the barrel for the muzzle brake. If you're actually describing the contour of the barrel to a stock maker, the muzzle just prior to threads is more like .822. Again, I think the stock that came with the gun is a pretty solid choice. Hit me back if you want more info on that project. I actually did one ultimate that had the laminate stock and one that had the fiberglass stock
